Q: My hairdresser is fantastic — but she talks the entire time I’m in the chair. I’d like to close my eyes and relax. Is it rude to ask for silence?
A: No, but make sure you ask graciously and occasionally. When you’d rather zone out, say “Don’t mind me; I’m going to drift off for a bit. It’s been a busy week!” But let her chat on some visits. She’ll appreciate both your need for quiet and your respectful listening skills.

Many hairdressers see conversation as part of their job responsiblities and therefore it becomes habit. You might be surprised to find out that your hairdress might enjoy a break from the conversation too.
So true.
